Hello lovely's,

Summer is ending and school has started. Everything is back in its routine.
I always get a happy feeling when September has arrived. It is the same with January and Spring. I get the feeling I can start over all again... Do some proper cleaning. Get rid of all the old and excess stuff. New creative ideas, new projects, etc.
Although I'm happy about September I don't feel that much energy. We had a lovely 3-week holiday. Imagine, nature is all around you and the peace and rest that gets into your system. It gives you more patience towards people. You let things be and you feel peace. I always want to keep that feeling as long as I can when I return. I want to say 'good morning' with a smile to everybody. But eventually stress kicks in because we 'need to' do so much. And all of a sudden I see myself being that grumpy stressed mum that I really don't like....

So I will make a plan to survive this fist month, thats my goal & I like to keep my goals easy ;-),

* Go to bed ON TIME!! Seriously. If I don't watch out I'll be in bed every night by midnight and be grumpy awake at 6:30 but will get out of bed all stressed again by 7:15

* Learn to say NO to questions. Yes I confess. I'm unable to say NO I just can't. I think its got to do with my pleasing behavior. But in the end everybody knows I will do stuff for them, like pick up their child from sport, babysit their little ones, organize parties, etc. And in the end I will be stressed again.

* Take some time for "PEACE" in my life. Yes we all think or at least I think we all think that we need to do stuff all the time. But when you have such a busy household there will always be work to do and it will never be finished. So note to my self: take a peaceful break in the morning and one in the afternoon. But peaceful means, no phone, no computer, no reading.

What would work for you? Do you recognize this at all? I would love to hear from you if you have any advice of tips! Please lets share!

Kisses from Eve

Hello you,

This is my first blog and I'm not really sure why I created this account just now. I think I want to express myself and feel that there are more people like me. But on the other hand I don't like the fact that everybody puts everything out there. I kinda like my privacy. Weird, I know!
Not sure if I want to reveal a lot about myself (privacy pops up here) but we will see how it goes. One thing I will let you know, english isn't my native language! Just so you know.
I would like to share with you the things that are going on in my life.
Life, love, faith, health, parenting, family, friendship everything basically.
Once again not sure how this will work out. We just have to figure it out.
Time to go now.

Love Eve
